Landlord and trade work in High Barnet

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in High Barnet as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Repair or replace in High Barnet?

Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Normally it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for High Barnet. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Read our full price list or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the next day.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know about parking or access

Related advice

High Barnet: your questions answered

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send photos.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Typically, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job.

Do you need bath repair in High Barnet?

Rust typically starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Chips under the taps
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted

Questions to ask before booking

  • Who turns up on the day
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Aftercare advice
  • What preparation is included

Our hiring checklist

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Honest limits

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Pressed steel enamel
